X-ray TDI Cameras

Hamamatsu Corp. has added Model C10650-461 to its line of x-ray
time delay integration (TDI) cameras for nondestructive inspection and testing.
While maintaining high sensitivity, the “no gap” camera’s TDI
technology offers higher resolution than standard line-scan cameras produce, according
to the company. The camera is suitable for high-throughput inspection of printed
circuit boards, electronic assemblies with ball grid arrays and other surface-mounted
components, batteries and pharmaceuticals. It features a TDI CCD image sensor with
6144 x 128 pixels coupled with a CsI scintillator. Each pixel measures 48 x 48 μm,
which is suitable for high-resolution imaging. The TDI line rate is 6 m/min at full
resolution and 11 m/min with 2 x 2 binning. X-ray images are output as 16-bit data
via a Camera Link interface.

A light-tight box that receives light from an object or scene and focuses it to form an image on a light-sensitive material or a detector. The camera generally contains a lens of variable aperture and a shutter of variable speed to precisely control the exposure. In an electronic imaging system, the camera does not use chemical means to store the image, but takes advantage of the sensitivity of various detectors to different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. These sensors are transducers...
